Which truck

[ed1380]

I was going to make my own on-road rc powered by a chainsaw, but that would cost $100+ so i decided why not buy a profesionally designed one for not much more. with that in mind i have a budget of $300 tops.

Ive been looking at the cen genesis and im loving the BIG approach and reverse, but it doesnt seem that nible. Id like instant wheelie everytime.
Ive noticed that people don't like it much. Whats bad about it?

BTW my backyard is pretty much a construction site, flat softpacked dirt and a big tabletop mound of dirt. and frontyard is grass.

What would yall recomend?

Thanks

I don't really know much about the CEN Genesis, but I do know that most monster trucks are not nimble. Except maybe the Revo, but it is rubish for bashing.
For bashing I recommend the Savage X 4.6 or maybe the T-Maxx. To me the Savage is way tougher with better suspension. My friend has T-maxx and the suspension bottoms out even if you put a pound of weight on it.

Don't waist any time
Get the Losi LST and you will not be un happy.
They are the best of all the MOnsters out there.
Next would be the MGT 8.0
there are no others worth your time if you are just going to bash!
Some will tell you the HPI Savage but they are a pain to work on!
Happy Decisions

the savage x 4.6 looks like a perfect choice minus having reverse and being expensive. Ill keep all 3 in mind and just look around for a sale or something.
there are a few slightly used ones on ebat ATM, Ill see about maybe getting those, but as usuall theres the parents that say what i can and cant buy with my money
BTW you dont know what "hard to work on" is until you have a german made car, :D and i have an audi in the garage with a broken timing belt :(
